MY Spiritual Path Part 3
My spiritual path part 3
My friend was extremely concerned about being punctual, so we arrived at the seminar approximately 30 minutes before the event was to begin. As it turned out that was a great idea. The 2,000 seat auditorium was full, nearly to capacity. Fortunately, we were able to find seats in the very last row. Exactly at the scheduled time 2 gentlemen from the University of Georgia came on stage and a hush came over the audience. The first speaker went on to tell us the history of ESP and how many countries (Russia during the “Cold War”) researched ESP to see if there was a way to use it to overcome their adversaries. He described some of the research which was then being conducted and cited some successes and failures. After a quarter of an hour, he turned the stage over to his colleague. His presentation was to describe the ESP Tests which were going to be conducted during the second half of the seminar. When he had completed his description, he turned the podium back over to the first speaker who spent a great deal of time answering questions and offering scientific collaboration as to the probability that ESP was a provable fact. I would find out how right he was during the second half of the seminar.
At the precise mid-point in the seminar’s allotted time, the 2nd gentlemen returned to the stage. He informed the audience that he would be selecting eleven people to come down to the stage for an experiment. One person would be “the sender” and the remaining people would be “the receivers”.
He began calling to people in the audience by pointing to them. One-by-one they made their way down to the stage. My mind wandered during this process until I heard him say, “You in the back, in the Red shirt.” I had forgotten that when I took off my business attire after work, I had donned a red polo shirt. But, I thought, he can’t be calling ME. To my surprise, everyone around me was pointing at me, encouraging me to go to the stage, I thought, Why me? I don’t know anything about this stuff. Finally, my friend said, “He means you.” With a gentle nudge on my arm, I rose and walked down the stairs to the stage. Find out what happens on stage in my next blog post.
